This makes me feel better about the recent mocks

giving us Hughes.

"I am in favor of censorship ‐ not against what is supposed to be sexy or dirty, but against what is idiotic." -Jean Renoir

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: After waiting seemingly forever, it is finally draft week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and the schedule for next season is being released or something like that this week.

the more i watch tape of Hughes

the more comfortable i am of the Colts taking him with the first pick. That and this helps reinforce my feelings

I didn't look up his sack numbers, but this guy

Daniel Te’o-Nesheim, might be worth a look in a5th or 6th round pick. 37" vert and 4.18 short shutle.

Defense is more important than breathing.

Sacks number was very consistent his last 3 years at Washington...8.5, 8, and 11

The one mock draft I did for the Colts, I had the Colts taking him in the 5th round…

Here’s a video of him:

Huh

Suddenly I look less dumb for taking Hughes in the first round in the Community Mock Draft. And yes, I’d love it if the Colts could get him.

jpp

i cannot believe teams are (allegedly) considering jason pierre-paul as a top 15 pick after the massive failure of the vernon gholston experiment.

I would do a dance

If we got Hughes. We need another pass rusher desperately.

yeah, Hughes is one of the guys I'd be very happy with in the 1st

though good undersized pass rushers can be had later, which is why I’d prefer a couple other late 1st round guys.

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Just how deeply can your senses be wrong? With some VR goggles, a camera and a touch on the back researchers were able to overcome a person's sense of being inside their own body.

Agreed

And I don’t believe the conventional wisdom that the Colts will draft Pouncey or any other offensive lineman. By his own admission, Bill Polian isn’t good at evaluating o-line talent, so seeing us blow another first-round pick so soon after the Ugoh and Pollack experiments went bad would be a real surprise. Polian is much more likely to go after value with his high picks, and he loves pass rushing (plus his vaunted actuarial tables have to show Dwight Freeney’s production declining soon). Makes much more sense that he’d take Hughes and ignore the Mel Kipers of the world trying to second-guess him.

please, Kiper has had us taking Odrick for months, never mind that Polian doesn’t take DT’s at the end of the first round. At least McShay moved off Price a couple of months ago and has us taking Hughes.

Daniel Te'o-Nesheim

Is it just me or does this guy sound like a Colt?

Classic Overachiever, Projected late round pick. Undersized Defensive End too small to use on run plays. Solid College production. High Motor. Great Combine workout. Solid Intangibles. Not expected to produce in the pros,

I’m not saying he’s a first round pick, but
Look this guy up.

Te’o-Nesheim performed 29 bench-press repetitions at 225 pounds, and he was timed as fast as 4.73 seconds in the 40-yard dash, though his official time was not among the top 10. Well, he was timed running the 40-yard dash in 4.67 seconds at Washington’s pro day on Wednesday, according to his agent. The scouts in attendance all had him in the 4.6s.

Intangibles: Highly respected by fans, teammates and the coaching staff. Was a consistent recipient of hustle awards throughout his career – earning the Mark Drennan Defensive Scout Squad Player of the Year when redshirting in 2005 to earning the John P. Angel Defensive Lineman of the Year from 2007-09. Recognized as the Defensive MVP following the 2008 and 2009 seasons. Voted team captain in 2008 and 2009. Participated on the UW track and field team, throwing the shot put and discus and finishing 14th and 16th, respectively, at the 2006 Pac-10 Championships.

His 37’ Vertical is a half of inch shorter than Dwight Freeney and he weighs 8 pounds more. (Freeney weighed 255 in college)
That’s explosion.

In private workouts he’s clocked around 4.67 in the 40, which isn’t lightning quick but it’s fast for a DE, and he moves well with the third best 20 yard shuffle in the combine.

A classic overachiever, Te’o-Nesheim doe not fit the mold of a star NFL defensive end, but he started all 49 games in which he played with the Huskies and proved to be one of the Pac-10’s most consistent defenders over the past three seasons.

The two-time second-team all-Pac-10 honoree leaves with eye-popping numbers: 194 tackles, 47 tackles for loss and as the school’s all-time leader with 30 career sacks. He showed a penchant for coming up with big plays when the Dawgs needed them and was one of few standouts on an otherwise weak unit throughout much of his career.

Norwood

Also think he is a colt type, very productive in the SEC East. Made a living in the backfield while playing as an end before moving to OLB. Very safe choice as a second rounder IMO. If the Colts don’t draft Hughes in round one, I would be happy if Norwood is the choice at #63.
